Guest Max2006 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Hi, When I run netplwiz, I don't have "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" checkbox anymore! I think there is a security policy that hides the checkbox. What conditions makes that checkbox invisible? How can I have "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" option back? Any help would be appreciated, Max Quote
Guest Jesper Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Is your computer a domain member? That checkbox is only available in stand-alone installations. If your computer is set up to log on someone automatically you can change it directly in the registry by changing some values in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Set AutoAdminLogon to 0 Delete the DefaultPassword value --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047010155...rotectyourwi-20 "Max2006" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Hi, > > When I run netplwiz, I don't have "Users must enter a username and password > to use this computer" checkbox anymore! > > I think there is a security policy that hides the checkbox.

Guest Max2006 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Thank you Jesper for help. My computer is member of domain, but I am logged in as local admin. Even local users cannot use that feature? Thank you again.

Guest Jesper Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Yes you can use the feature on any computer, domain-joined or not. However, you have to use the registry to configure it on a domain-joined computer. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047010155...rotectyourwi-20 "Max2006" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Thank you Jesper for help. > > My computer is member of domain, but I am logged in as local admin. > > Even local users cannot use that feature? > > Thank you again. > Max > > > "Jesper" <Jesper@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6849341F-56F5-4E98-9259-D958A03D3C78@microsoft.com...<span style="color:green"> > > Is your computer a domain member?
